Overview of Vaginal Inflammation

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina caused by infection with pathogenic microorganisms (including gonococci, fungi, Trichomonas and other microorganisms). Vaginitis can be divided into senile vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, gonorrheal vaginitis, amebic vaginitis, Haemophilus vaginitis, infantile vaginitis, emphysematous vaginitis and nonspecific vaginitis according to age and source of infection.

Key points for self-diagnosis of vaginitis

Various types of vaginitis have symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, varying degrees of itching, burning, or pain in the vulva, and fever in the acute phase. The characteristics of leucorrhea caused by different types of vaginitis are different, which can be used as a basis for identification.

(1) The leucorrhea caused by Trichomonas vaginitis is grayish yellow, turbid, foamy, and has a foul odor. Sometimes it is a milky white or yellowish white thin liquid, and sometimes it is a yellowish green purulent foamy leucorrhea.

(2) The vaginal discharge of candidal vaginitis is watery, curd-like, ointment-like, or has white flakes and crumbs, like tofu dregs.

(3) The leucorrhea of ​​gonorrheal vaginitis is purulent.

(4) The leucorrhea of ​​elderly vaginitis is yellow and watery. When the infection is serious, the secretions may turn into pus and have a foul odor, and occasionally there will be symptoms of spotting.

Treatment of vaginitis

Trichomonas vaginitis

If Trichomonas multiplies in large numbers in the vagina, vaginal secretions will increase and the vulva will feel tingling and itching. This is Trichomonas vaginitis.

Treatment method: Usually after washing the vagina, use vaginal suppositories. Continuous treatment for 3 to 4 times will relieve the stinging and itching in the vagina. After that, daily treatment should be continued for about two weeks. If you want to cure Trichomonas vaginitis, you must be patient and continue the treatment. You cannot give up halfway, otherwise it will relapse again.

Candida vaginitis

The inflammation caused by vaginal infection with Candida albicans is called candidal vaginitis, which is most common in pregnant women. Candida can survive in an environment with low acidity.

Treatment: Take vaginal suppositories such as trichomoniasis and apply ointment to the genitals. Continue the treatment for at least 2 weeks. Candidal vaginitis can easily recur.

Gonorrheal vaginitis

Caused by gonococcal infection, vaginal discharge is yellow-green, and is accompanied by pus and foul odor. If not treated in time, it can cause bladder inflammation, endometritis, etc.

Treatment method: Use 100 grams of willow leaves, 15 grams of atractylodes, 15 grams of coptis, 15 grams of phellodendron, 20 grams of Patrinia chinensis, 15 grams of Cnidium monnieri, 30 grams of Pulsatilla striata, 30 grams of Sophora flavescens, and 15 grams of Kochia scoparia, and decoct in water. Wash the vulva while it is warm, 1 to 2 times a day. One course of treatment is 7 days. Generally, recovery can be achieved in 1 to 2 courses of treatment.

Nonspecific vaginitis

Vaginitis caused by bacteria other than Trichomonas, Candida and Gonorrhea, such as Streptococcus and Escherichia coli, exists at the same time, but the basic mechanism is still unclear, so it is collectively called nonspecific vaginitis.

Treatment method: Rinse the vagina with 15% lactic acid, 0.5% acetic acid or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, wipe dry and apply antibiotic emulsion or 9 powder, once a day, 10 days as a course of treatment.

Atrophic vaginitis

This type of inflammation is also called senile vaginitis. When women reach menopause, the function of their ovaries declines and the secretion of ovarian hormones decreases, causing the vaginal mucosa to become thinner and bacteria to breed in the vagina.

Treatment method: Usually use 1:5000 potassium permanganate to clean the vulva, insert diethylstilbestrol tablets or suppositories into the vagina, and estrogen can also be applied systemically, but treatment must be under the guidance of a doctor.

Vaginitis in young girls

Little girls often sit on the ground and play, or put their fingers into their vagina, which may cause contamination of the vulva and vagina and induce vaginitis.

Treatment method: Use pepper water or Liuyi powder (containing talc and licorice) to flush and clean the vagina and vulva to achieve the therapeutic effect.
